Perimenopause really has a way of pulling up UNINVITED. 😂😩
One minute you’re minding your business… next thing you’re hot for no reason, waking up at 3 AM, forgetting why you walked into the room, irritated by sounds you’ve heard your entire life, and wondering, “WHO am I and why is everybody getting on my nerves?!” 😂
Today’s conversation with one of my patients was hilarious, but it was also REAL. So many women start experiencing changes in their 30s and 40s and don’t immediately realize that shifting hormones may be playing a role.
✨ Hot flashes & night sweats
✨ Sleep changes
✨ Mood changes & irritability
✨ Brain fog
✨ Low energy
✨ Changes in libido
✨ Vaginal dryness
✨ Changes in body composition
✨ Feeling like you’re just… not quite yourself
And while we can laugh about some of the things perimenopause puts us through, you don’t have to simply “deal with it.”
For appropriate patients, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may be one option to help manage bothersome symptoms. Treatment should always be individualized based on your symptoms, health history, labs when appropriate, and a conversation about benefits and risks.
Because sometimes it’s not that everybody suddenly became annoying… it might be time to check those hormones. 😂😂😂
